Chapter 169: Face-to-Face with Grim Reaper
Chapter 169: Face-to-Face with Grim Reaper
"Hmm, thanks to you" Isaac had a huge smile on his face. For the first time in his life, he was truly feeling happy as he finally had the woman, he was in love with next to him.
"What about Edwin?"
"She broke up with him"
Chance was shocked as this would ruin his plan, "But we need him at that party" Chance softly shouted.
"Don't worry" Isaac then informed him how Edwin shamelessly begged for an invitation and assured he would be at the party.
Chance sighed in relief as he needs Edwin at the party to execute his plan.
"Why did you call me so suddenly?" Isaac asked him.
"I fucked up a few things"
"Haha, of course" Isaac laughed.
Chance then explained what he did just now and how it affected Samantha. Seeing her state, he couldn't continue the conversation with her.
Now, to make up for his actions, he came up with a new plan and shared it with Isaac as only Isaac can help him rectify his mistakes.
"Fuck, how could you be so cruel to your woman?" Isaac couldn't believe what Chance did after knowing what happened.
"I had no idea she loves me this much" Chance honestly expressed his thoughts.
"So, what's the plan?" Isaac was sure Chance came up with a plan to rectify it or else Chance wouldn't have called him.
Chance then explained what they need to do and Isaac kept nodding his head in understanding. After Chance was done, Isaac assured him that he would go along with this plan.
"Thanks Isaac, you are a great help" Chance sincerely uttered these words as without Isaac, he wouldn't have been able to execute his plan.
"Hey, Lucas is important for me too. I can do anything for him. If you want, I'll kill that bastard too" Isaac, who is a non-violent and peace-loving person was ready to kill someone for their late friend, he was that furious right now.
"Don't worry. Leave this dirty work to me." Chance wished him good night and Isaac went back to Carol, who was waiting for him.
"Who is she?" Carol seriously questioned Isaac. Her mind was a mess, as she kept wondering who Isaac was talking to for so long.
"A friend of mine, who loves me a lot. She is crazy about me" Isaac was enjoying her reaction and continued teasing her.
"Then be with her, why bother yourself with me?" Carol was agitated as he talked to that woman for almost an hour, she was about to get out of bed when Isaac gently tugged her arm, pulling her towards him.
"It was work related, as I told you, I only want you" Isaac hugged her.
Carol felt relieved and hugged him back, "Then don't tease me"
"Hmm"
The two spent the rest of the night, talking about their past, and made up for all the time they were away from each other.
Next day
Samantha woke up, only to see Chance getting ready for his office.
"What's the time?" She questioned him.
"8 am" Chance answered her while wearing his tie.
"Why are you up so early?" Samantha asked him in confusion.
"Need to go to work. Mia messaged me, she will meet you at the office and from there she will take you on this city tour" Chance informed her.
"Oh, when are we supposed to leave?"
"In thirty minutes" Chance stepped towards the messy woman and kissed her cheek, "I'll prepare the breakfast, get ready and come downstairs"
"Okay" Samantha nervously recollected last night and wondered why is Chance not asking her why she cried last night and acted all weird.
Samantha got out of bed but she was still worried about Grim Reaper killing Chance.
'Need to think of some way, to deal with him' Samantha decided to call her dad later to get some information on Isaac Bennet.
After freshening up and having a good bath, Samantha wore a white tank top, a scarf around her neck and a yellow skirt.
Chance prepared breakfast for them, after having it the two headed to his office.
"If you get bored touring with Mia, then just drop a message to me, I'll come to your rescue" Chance laughed while assuring her.
Samantha just smiled back at him, but her thoughts were filled with Grim Reaper and his words from last night.
After a while, they reached Chance's office.
After entering the main premises, they reached a tall building.
At the entrance they both stepped out of the car and Chance handed the car keys to the valet, who drove the car away.
"Wow, this building is so big" Samantha exclaimed in surprise.
Chance smiled and they were about to head inside when another car arrived there.
Samantha was surprised to see Carol and Isaac step out of the car. When she saw Isaac, she subconsciously stepped in front of Chance as if she was protecting him from Isaac.
Chance sighed in relief as everything was going according to his plan, Isaac came on time.
When he saw Samantha stand in front of him protectively, he couldn't help but smile.
Isaac too wanted to laugh seeing Samantha's actions.
'This bastard scared her so much' He cursed Chance in his heart as he felt bad for Samantha.
"You two came together, what a surprise!" Chance teased Carol and Isaac.
Carol felt embarrassed but Isaac smiled back, "We are now dating each other" He frankly declared, surprising Samantha and Chance as they didn't expect this.
"Edward?" Samantha asked Carol in reflex.
Samantha was not a nosy person but this situation called for it. Edwin did all of this to find Grim Reaper and this break up might ruin his plans.
"We broke up" Carol didn't hide it. She was feeling shy, that she was with one guy till last night and soon started dating a second one.
She was not someone who would switch between men so easily but circumstances were like that and she couldn't help it.
Carol wondered what would everyone will think about her.
"Good you did. That man didn't seem like someone, good enough for you. Finally, you did one right thing in your life" Chance assured her as if he could read her thoughts and added, "Rather two right things in life."
"Two?" Carol was happy with his assurance but when he said two, she got confused.
"One break up with Edward, two date Isaac" Chance brightly smiled as he was happy to see Carol with Isaac.
"Oh" Carol felt shy but she was happy as Chance too confirmed that she was now making correct decisions.
"Let's go" Chance casually said only to hear Samantha say, "Chance, I'll take a walk around this place before heading inside. Hope, that is fine"
"Yeah, me too" Isaac added.
"Sure, have fun you two" Chance casually commented and looked at Carol, "Let's go, we have a meeting in five minutes"
Before Carol could say anything to Isaac and Samantha, Chance took her away from there leaving Samantha alone with Isaac.
"I need to talk to you" Samantha seriously looked at Isaac.
"Hmm, I know, after all we couldn't complete our conversation last night" Isaac replied back.
Samantha was still not able to believe she was actually standing face-to-face with Grim Reaper.
She was not sure why, but she was not able to believe, he is indeed the Grim Reaper.
"Shall we?" Isaac pointed towards the lawn and Samantha followed him.
"I am sorry for last night" Isaac apologized to her surprising Samantha as she didn't expect this would be the first thing he would say.
When Isaac got to know about this conversation, he felt bad for this woman, so he first apologized to her on Chance's behalf.
"I just wanted to scare you but I had no idea you love Chance this much" Isaac added.
"So, you will not kill Chance, right?" Samantha questioned him with hope in her eyes.
"As long as you will help me take Edwin down, I won't harm Chance." Isaac tried to look scary.
"What's the guarantee you won't harm him after killing Edwin?" Samantha questioned him.
"Why would I? I don't kill people for free without any reason. Now, you know my true identity and by now you also know my weakness" Isaac implied; she too now knows Carol is his weakness.
"Then last night why did you threaten me?"
"I was angry as you were double crossing me. Edwin, that bastard killed my best friend and now he was trying to play with my woman's feelings. Tell me which man won't be pissed?" Isaac looked furious when he questioned Samantha.
"I am sorry, Edwin crossed the line" Samantha agreed with him as she too had the same thoughts about Edwin using Carol.
"So, last night I had to show up to ruin their budding relationship. I had to protect the woman I love" Isaac said as a matter-of-fact.
Samantha didn't say anything as she was feeling ashamed for helping Edwin initially.
